TEST FOR CARBON DIOXIDE 11/05/2014 SOFT DRINKS & ITS HARMFUL EFFECTS 20  Take bottles of soft drinks.  As soon as the bottles were opened, one by one the sample was passed through lime water. The lime water turned milky.  Conclusion: All the…

all, calibration solutions, which are formed from glucose and fructose stock solutions, are prepared. Prepared calibration solutions are placed in polarimeter which is calibrated with water before. SUMMARY: In this experiment, Fehling method was used for reducing sugar content determination in honey sample and polarimetric method was used for invert sugar determination in different concentrations. In Polarimetric method, fructose and glucose solution were used to prepare mixture. Then,…

First, mark 5 test tubes with the temperatures specified above and repeat this for each condition. Using the pipette, insert 5 ml of starch into the labeled test tubes. 2. Then place one test tube into its corresponding water bath and do this for each water bath for a total of 5 test tubes, one in each bath. 3. In empty test tubes, insert 1 ml of amylase. Insert one of these test tubes into each water bath without mixing the two test tubes, and allow 10 minutes only for the test tubes to heat.…

For the first part, the qualitative polyphenol oxidase test (Table 1), we looked at 3 qualitative test tubes, where only test tube 2 turned orange since this tube had both the 40 mM dopa, the substrate and PPO enzyme extract. However, the test tube 3 did have a cloudy component because of the presence of PPO extract, but there was no color change. For a color change to occur, there needs to be a presence of both the dopa and PPO extract. Furthermore, we calculated the final concentrations of…

Chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide consisting of β(1→ 4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) units in a linear form. Chitin is insoluble in water and mainly exists in two crystalline (α- and β-) forms. The α-chitin consists of sheets of tightly packed alternating parallel and antiparallel chains (1) and is abundant in the exoskeleton of arthropods, insects, fungi, and yeast cell walls. The chains are arranged in parallel orientation in β-chitin (2), which occurs less…

Most commonly asked question is “What's in my food?” Most food contains artificial flavors, sugars, and addictive chemicals.These things added into the products produced can cause long term damages on growing bodies or full grown adults. Most factors produce are pumped full with sugar or the fake step’ sibling ,high fructose corn syrup. Not only is the sugar added but, artificial ingredients or flavors are as well. Don't worry there's more, the body can get addicted to “junk food” the “ highly…

Introduction We are testing the affect of substances on bread mould growth. The question we’re hoping to carry out is what antiseptic and cleaning substances would have on the effect of the growth of bread mould. And whether it would inhibit the mould, increase the growth of the mould or have no effect at all. Hypothesises: it is expected that antiseptic substances such as Jik, Mr Muscle and Handy Andy will inhibit the growth of fungi, as these antiseptic substances will effectively stop the…

concentrated after receiving an antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Max’s urine concentration varied in concentration each time he was tested. The first test showed that his urine was a pale yellow which was an indication that he was hydrated. The second test showed the concentration to be a dark yellow which meant that Max was probably dehydrated. The last test shown was yellow meaning he still was not as hydrated as he should be. Before exercise, pale yellow urine with low specific gravity is…

on yeast. Her conclusions were that the more yeast added to sugar, the faster the production of CO2 is. Hypothesis: The rate of CO2 production will increase as the amount of glucose is put in the container. The rate of CO2 production will increase as the amount of sucrose is put in the container. Materials: Yeast Glucose Sucrose 2 small bottles Paper towels Weight scale Spoons…

Fructose Corn Syrup: Much Maligned? Or the Devil’s Food Cake?, August 23, 2011, Fructose is a yellowish white crystallized, water soluble ketonic monosaccharide sugar found in many plants, C6H12O6. It is sweeter than sucrose and often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. Triglyceride is a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. When we eat, our body convert any calories that doesn’t need to use right away into triglycerides. Triglycerides are stored in the fat cells. Hormones…
